I suppose the paternal (as in: opposite of maternal) ribbon that connects father and child is completely arbitrary, at least if the fatherhood was established in a conventional family setting - which is probably yet another reason why fathers should take some time off to look after their children if the ribbon is not to vanish in the (likely) case of a divorce or break-up. I really called him yesterday and we made polite conversation. We actually only officially kind of 'made up' last year where we met for an our in a park in Cologne - the two encounters before that were chance encounters (at a funeral, at a 'confirmation' (relig.). Feels better that way anyway - if he is going to die, then without me having the feeling of not having made up. And it seems as if polite conversation is absolutely ok now (it used to make be angry before - if you meet every four years and then you don't even have anything to say to each other - suddenly it doesn't hurt anymore).

Interesting phenomenon, isn't it? Haven’t seen or spoken to my father in about four years as well. Interesting phenomenon, isn’t it?
